Hi, I try not to ask of people like this, but we really need help, so I am going to reach out and pray. My name is Joseph I grew up in Memphis Tennessee in a small little midtown house my mother and father worked so hard for. If you’re not familiar with midtown Memphis, it’s an historic district of Memphis. My parents bought the house i grew up in when my mom was six months pregnant my dad was working two jobs and is the greatest dad in the world I know everyone thinks that about their dad but my dad really was even at a young age I noticed how long he would be gone for work every day twelve fifteen hours a day most the time to try and give us the best of course it wasn’t the best but it was pretty good in my eyes, I got my work ethic from my father. He taught me to the best I could be and never give up because the job was too hard just get it done then you can complain. He never made that much money he was a pressman at a printing company an artist in a dying art he used to say, but he would break his back to the best he could. Ok back to the house I grew up in they bought in 1976 right before I was born.my brother and I grew up in this old house that was built I think around 1911 or in the twenties for sure but yea it’s that old and it’s their house. Around 2001 my brother was killed in a tragic automobile accident and i watched my parents slump into a deep depression which I did too. The house fell into disrepair during that time and that’s when the giant oak tree in the back yard started to die my dad didn’t have the motivation or the youth to deal with it after losing his oldest son, and I had a new daughter wife and another on the way I didn’t have time to fix up the house. Keep in mind were just a blue-collar family living paycheck to paycheck, one thing led to another and its 2023, I have a daughter in college and my family is broke. The giant oak tree in the back yard is dropping a limb is every storm that comes through and is destroying the roof which is leaking in certain spots. I actually have pots and buckets in the attic to catch the water when it rains. I would give anything if I could pay for the tree to come down give my mom and dad a new roof and fix(rebuild) their deck that a giant limb from the big oak demolished. The price for the tree to come down is 7500.00 and a new roof is an easy 15,000.00. The deck we could do without but since im here it would 5000.00. if anyone feels it in their heart to give, please do it all for my mom and dad both in their 70s now. All together we are looking at probably 32,500.00. anything would be greatly appreciated. Thank You and God bless.
